Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft die Interaktion zwischen handgehaltenen Terminals, Computern, Fernsteuerungen, Bedieneinheiten und anderen elektronischen Geräten einerseits und dem Benutzer andererseits auf taktilem Weg.The invention relates to the interaction between hand-held terminals, computers, Remote controls, control units and other electronic devices on the one hand and the On the other hand, users on a tactile path.
Taktile Rückmeldungen bei Betätigung von Geräten sind bisher bekannt bei Folientasturen in Form sog. "Knackfrösche", wo das Drücken einer Taste einen spürbaren mechanischen Impuls auslöst.Tactile feedback when actuating devices are previously known for membrane keyboards in the form of so-called "crack frogs", where pressing a button has a noticeable mechanical Triggers.
Nicht bekannt sind bisher taktile Rückmeldungen für die Betätigung von Touchscreens, also Bildschirmen (LCD's und anderen) mit einer berührungsempfindlichen Oberfläche. Die für die benutzerfreundliche Bedienung erforderliche Rückmeldung wird hier akustisch bewerkstelligt. In Umgebungen mit hohem Umgebungsgeräuschpegel sind akustische Meldungen aber nicht wahrnehmbar.Tactile feedback for the actuation of touchscreens is not yet known Screens (LCD's and others) with a touch-sensitive surface. The for the user-friendly operation required feedback is audible here accomplished. In environments with high ambient noise levels, acoustic Messages but not noticeable.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß in dem handgehaltenen Gerät an der Stelle, wo die tragende Hand das Gerät berührt, ein elektromechanischer Wandler eingebaut wird, der Kontakt mit der Hand hat.The object is achieved in that in the hand-held device on the An electromechanical converter is installed where the carrying hand touches the device is in contact with the hand.
Dieser Wandler wird mit einem elektrischen Signal beaufschlagt, das vom Wandler in mechanische Vibrationen umgewandelt wird, die für den Benutzer des Geräts zwangsläufigerweise spürbar sind; hierbei veranlaßt also eine Berührung des berührungsempfindlichen Displays die Empfindung des Benutzers einer Vibration an der das Gerät haltenden Hand.An electrical signal is applied to this converter by the converter in mechanical vibration is converted to the user of the device are inevitably noticeable; this causes a touch of the touch-sensitive displays the user's sensation of vibration from the Device holding hand.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform wird nicht nur die Berührung des Touch screens, sondern auch die Meldung wichtiger Systemzustände, die unabhängig von der Berührung des Touchscreens sind, in Form von Vibrationen dem Benutzer mitgeteilt.In a further preferred embodiment, not only the touch of the touch screens, but also reporting important system states that are independent of the Touching the touchscreen is communicated to the user in the form of vibrations.
Um mehrere unterschiedliche Nachrichten auf diesem Weg übermitteln zu können, wird der o.g. Wandler mit Signalen unterschiedlicher Frequenz beaufschlagt, die beim Benutzer ein taktil unterscheidbares Empfinden auslösen.In order to be able to transmit several different messages in this way, the o.g. Transducer with signals of different frequency applied to the user trigger tactile distinguishable sensation.
Dabei stehen je nach Trainingsmöglichkeit für die Ziel-Benutzergruppe 4 ... 10 Nachrichtentypen zur Verfügung.Depending on the training option, the target user group is 4 ... 10 Message types available.
In der bevorzugten Realisierungsform wird als elektromechanischer Wandler ein Piezowandler verwendet, der direkt an der unter der Gehäuseoberfläche des zu bedienenden Gerätes montiert ist. Die elektrische Ansteuerung des Piezoelementes erfolgt mit Frequenzen von bis 100 bis 1000 Hz.In the preferred implementation, an electromechanical transducer is used Piezowanders used that directly on the under the housing surface to be operated Device is installed. The piezo element is electrically controlled at frequencies from up to 100 to 1000 Hz.
Es sind jedoch auch andere elektromechanische Wandler, wie z.B. Spulen mit beweglichen Eisenkernen, u. ä. verwendbar.However, there are also other electromechanical transducers, e.g. Coils with movable Iron cores, u. usable.
Typische Anwendungen der Erfindung sind handgehaltene Terminals in Börsen, in denen Makler und Börsenangestellte diese Terminals benutzen, wobei ein hoher Geräuschpegel herrscht, und in Fabrikhallen.Typical applications of the invention are handheld terminals in exchanges where Brokers and stock exchange workers use these terminals, making a high noise level prevails, and in factory buildings.
